1 If you're hanging an artwork, of course, it depends on the placement, and also the placement of other artworks at the same time, if any.
2 I'd turn it so the left side would be the bottom side.
I imagine the rectangular figure with a circle on top represents a lighthouse and the lines represent the sky.

This is a recent picture I purchased. It's at the framer's. I may pick it up tomorrow. It's a work by a Japanese artist who passed away a couple of years ago named Tanaka Ryohei. It's titled, "Kamo Road".

I too would buy it.
Love the composition, in fact everything about it calls out to me.Fascinating, realistic, dull, fabulous detail, take a photo, because I can.
I couldn't walk past it without stopping to admire the whispy branches.
What size is it? A2?(Very Japanese, like one of those incredibly clever & perfect wooden mechanical joints their joiners create. Nail, glue?)

I have a lot of original art in my home and I love it all. We never entertain because I am so introverted and the only regret I have about that is no one gets to see what we have on our walls but us!
I have several paintings by an old friend, Rob Croxford. I met him in theatre school - we was a designer and scenic painter. Eventually he became a full time artist and we reconnected. I have seven of his paintings - 3 large, 2 medium, and 2 small. This is the first one I bought (14 years ago!). I lived on what is now Dundas Square when I lived in Toronto so there was nostalgia element to buying this piece. He actually hates this one and I tease him about that all the time. A couple years ago the TTC (the public transit authority for Toronto) commissioned a painting for the front of their transit map. He sent me a couple copies and I have them tucked behind the canvas.
We bought this one from Rob last year. It’s my favourite of the ones we own.

All these are art I pieces hang on the wall. Why do I have them? They came with a house I bought a long time ago. Nothing personal at all. When buying the house I did not have anything that I wanted to hang on the walls in particular, but I also did not want the walls to be too bare. So when the seller offered to leave those pieces behind for a token sum, I took the offer.
The last one ... 'til this day I am not sure whether I am hanging it in the orientation the artist intended. I am not motivated enough to find the answer.
But, maybe just for fun, you folks can tell me in which orientation you think I should hang that last piece.
